    The supplied morphology identifies ἐν as a preposition throughout. In 1 Corinthians 12:13 the APB renders baptism and drinking "in one Spirit"; in 1 Corinthians 14:19 it places speech "in the assembly"; and in 1 Corinthians 15:22 it expresses dying "in Adam" and being made alive "in Christ." The same connective relation is visible in 1 Corinthians 10:2, where the APB renders "in the cloud and in the sea," and in 1 Corinthians 14:25, where it renders God as "among you."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously expresses the relation with "in" and "among," while other instances may be absorbed into the English clause; Its wording does not isolate every occurrence.
