It would be reasonable to gloss the term "specially" as "particularly" or even "uniquely".
In other words, it is one thing to think of Christ as THE Savior of the world, after all there is no other comparable. But of WHOM is he the Savior? Does he save those who hate him to the last? Who reject him? Or who are not allowed even to hear about him, that they might believe?
No, he is the Savior of BELIEVERS, a class within the universe of discourse, the world.
