In Acts 18:8, the nominative singular masculine form identifies the synagogue ruler who believed with his household; the APB renders the clause "Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with all his household." In 1 Corinthians 1:14, the accusative singular masculine form names a person included after "except" in Paul's statement about baptizing; the APB renders "I give thanks that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as "Crispus" in both verses, once in identifying a synagogue ruler who believed and once in Paul's exception concerning baptism. The verse is read as a whole.
