1 Timothy 4:10 — 'savior of all people, especially those who believe' — extent/application distinction in a single verse

'We have our hope set on the living God who is the savior of all people, especially of those who believe.' 'Savior of all' = universal extent (the provision is for all). 'Especially those who believe' = application is to believers. The word 'especially' (malista) marks the distinction rather than contradicting it.
