Greek for savior, messiah, & Jesus?

[MrMacSon]

what is the Greek word for savior?

What is the Greek word for messiah?

How is the word or name Jesus presented in Greek?

[Peter Kirby]

John 1:41 (SBL Greek)
εὑρίσκει οὗτος πρῶτον τὸν ἀδελφὸν τὸν ἴδιον Σίμωνα καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Εὑρήκαμεν τὸν Μεσσίαν (ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον χριστός).
John 1:41 (NRSV)
He first found his brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated Anointed).

Μεσσίαν - transliteration into Greek (accusative)
χριστός - Christ/Messiah (nominative)

2 Peter 3:18 (SBL Greek)
αὐξάνετε δὲ ἐν χάριτι καὶ γνώσει τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα καὶ νῦν καὶ εἰς ἡμέραν αἰῶνος. ἀμήν.
2 Peter 3:18 (NRSV)
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

σωτῆρος - Savior (genitive)
Ἰησοῦ - Jesus (genitive)
Χριστοῦ - Christ/Messiah (genitive)

σωτῆρος - Savior (nominative)

That's the genitive.

[Peter Kirby]

Why yes it is.

[MrMacSon]

Thanks you!

So, there was some transliteration or translation, or both transliteration and translation with some words, like Μεσσίαν (Messiah)

• - translated to χριστός or Χριστοῦ (Annointed/Christ/Messiah).

Is Jesus - Ἰησοῦ - used consistently in early Christian Greek-writings* or other contemporary Greek writings; or its transliterated or translated forms used in writings in other languages such as Hebrew or Aramaic?

* such as Justin Martyr's? or the writings of Irenaeus?

Carotta says IC is also Ioulios and not just Iesous. Is it probable?

This subsequent posting as a new thread is interesting to this, too -

Nomen sacrum iota and lunate sigma

Yes, as far as I know. However, the "nomina sacra" complicates this just enough (two letters with a line over it). You'll have to look at manuscripts to verify the specifics.

or its transliterated or translated forms used in writings in other languages such as Hebrew or Aramaic?

I'm not sure what you're asking.

I have merged these threads.

i guess I'm asking if there are consistent or different versions in Hebrew or Aramaic ....

or are there variations? such as there are in Greek -

• χρηϲτοϲ Greek / Chrestus Latin.
  χριϲτοϲ Greek / Christus Latin.
