Is it "Savior" or is it "Saviour"? Seemingly it is spelled both ways in Bible versions. As for the versions that are on my Bible program, here are the results:

SAVIOUR --- ASV, AV, BBE, Darby, Douay, JB2000, LO, NIV, Wey, Williams, YLT (11 translations)

SAVIOR ---AKJV, Diaglot, EMTV, ESV, HCSB, NAS95, NKJV, NRSV, RSV, Webster (10 translations)

So I guess it's a matter of taste as to how we spell the word. I, myself, prefer the one with the "u" --- "Saviour"

hi Paidion,

I gave up on saviour, spell check underlines it in red so I didn't want too embarrass myself.

Saviour is a very archaic spelling, no longer used in American English. It reflects a spelling convention still common in British English (Compare, e.,g., neighbour; labour; savour; succour).
