1Tim 4, 10b-11 God who is the savior of all

(1Tim 4, 10b-11) God who is the savior of all
[10b] Who is the savior of all, especially of those who believe. [11] Command and teach these things.
(CCC 594) Jesus performed acts, such as pardoning sins, that manifested him to be the Saviour God himself (cf. Jn 5:16-18). Certain Jews, who did not recognize God made man (cf. Jn 1:14), saw in him only a man who made himself God (Jn 10:33), and judged him as a blasphemer. (CCC 2808) In the decisive moments of his economy God reveals his name, but he does so by accomplishing his work. This work, then, is realized for us and in us only if his name is hallowed by us and in us.
