(A distinctive purpose)
See, that's an example of how the word is used these days; and when it's used like that, it denotes exclusivity.
Because the way the word is used in 1 Timothy 4:10 and Titus 1:10 is obsolete (a flat-out synonym for especially), the best verse for Universalism in the Bible doesn't make sense. On the contrary, one could interpret it to mean "exclusively of those who believe."
1Tim 4:10 is not the best verse in the bible for "universalism," It is ONE of many verses that describe the salvation of all.
Whatever you think "specially" [mä'-lē-stä] (strongs 3122) means, it NEVER mean EXCLUSIVLEY!
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God,
who is the Saviour of all men, specially [mä'-lē-stä] (strongs 3122) of those that believe.

most of all 3122 for 1909 the words 3056 which 3739 he spake 2046 , that 3754 they should 3195 see 2334 his 846 face 4383 no more 3765. And 1161 they accompanied 4311 him 846 unto 1519 the ship 4143.
Act 25:26 Of 4012 whom 3739 I have 2192 no 3756 certain 804 thing 5100 to write 1125 unto my lord 2962. Wherefore 1352 I have brought 4254 0 him 846 forth 4254 before 1909 you 5216, and 2532
specially 3122 before 1909 thee 4675, O king 935 Agrippa 67, that 3704, after examination 351 had 1096 , I might have 2192 somewhat 5100 to write 1125 .
Act 26:3
Especially 3122 [because I know 1492 ] thee 4571 to be 5607 expert 1109 5037 in all 3956 customs 1485 and 2532 questions 2213 which are among 2596 the Jews 2453: wherefore 1352 I beseech 1189 thee 4675 to hear 191 me 3450 patiently 3116.
Gal 6:10 As 5613 we have 2192 therefore 686 3767 opportunity 2540, let us do 2038 good 18 unto 4314 all 3956 [men],
especially 1161 3122 unto 4314 them who are of the household 3609 of faith 4102.
Phl 4:22 All 3956 the saints 40 salute 782 you 5209, 1161
chiefly 3122 they that are of 1537 Caesar's 2541 household 3614.
1Ti 4:10 For 1063 therefore 1519 5124 we 2872 0 both 2532 labour 2872 and 2532 suffer reproach 3679 , because 3754 we trust 1679 in 1909 the living 2198 God 2316, who 3739 is 2076 the Saviour 4990 of all 3956 men 444,
specially 3122 of those that believe 4103.
1Ti 5:8 But 1161 if any 1536 provide 4306 not 3756 for his own 2398, and 2532
specially 3122 for those of his own house 3609, he hath denied 720 the faith 4102, and 2532 is 2076 worse than 5501 an infidel 571.
1Ti 5:17 Let 515 0 the elders 4245 that rule 4291 well 2573 be counted worthy 515 of double 1362 honour 5092,
especially 3122 they who labour 2872 in 1722 the word 3056 and 2532 doctrine 1319.
2Ti 4:13 The cloke 5341 that 3739 I left 620 at 1722 Troas 5174 with 3844 Carpus 2591, when thou comest 2064 , bring 5342 [with thee], and 2532 the books 975, [but]
especially 3122 the parchments 3200.
Tts 1:10 For 1063 there are 1526 many 4183 unruly 506 and 2532 vain talkers 3151 and 2532 deceivers 5423,
specially 3122 they of 1537 the circumcision 4061:
Phm 1:16 Not now 3765 as 5613 a servant 1401, but 235 above 5228 a servant 1401, a brother 80 beloved 27,
specially 3122 to me 1698, but 1161 how much 4214 more 3123 unto thee 4671, both 2532 in 1722 the flesh 4561, and 2532 in 1722 the Lord 2962?
2Pe 2:10 But 1161
chiefly 3122 them that walk 4198 after 3694 the flesh 4561 in 1722 the lust 1939 of uncleanness 3394, and 2532 despise 2706 government 2963. Presumptuous 5113 [are they], selfwilled 829, they are not 3756 afraid 5141 to speak evil 987 of dignities 1391.
