Christianos identifies a person called by this designation, whether disciples, a prospective convert, or one suffering under the name.

The attested verses use Christianos as a designation for persons: disciples are called by it in Acts 11:26, Agrippa speaks of becoming one in Acts 26:28, and 1 Peter 4:16 applies it to someone who suffers and glorifies God in this name.

   In Acts 11:26, the accusative plural occurs where the APB renders that the disciples “were first called Christians in Antioch.” In Acts 26:28, the accusative singular appears in Agrippa’s question about becoming one, while 1 Peter 4:16 has the nominative singular for anyone who suffers under this designation and glorifies God “in this name.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “Christians” for the disciples in Acts 11:26 and “a Christian” in Acts 26:28 and 1 Peter 4:16. These renderings confirm the clauses' presentation rather than define each form independently.
