Christ
Christos identifies the one preached as crucified and raised, and marks belonging, fellowship, and relation to him.
Across the supplied verses, the term consistently identifies the figure preached as crucified, described as having died and been raised, and named in relations of belonging, fellowship, service, and participation. The varied clauses show differing grammatical relationships to that figure rather than distinct lexical senses, as in 1 Corinthians 1:23, 1 Corinthians 12:27, and 1 Corinthians 15:20.

The named figure in proclamation and relationship · dominant
The term names the figure proclaimed as crucified in 1 Corinthians 1:23 and as having died in 1 Corinthians 15:3; in 1 Corinthians 15:20 the APB renders the clause “Christ has been raised from the dead.” It also occurs in relational statements: the APB renders believers as “in Christ Jesus” in 1 Corinthians 1:2, “the body of Christ” in 1 Corinthians 12:27, and “those who belong to Christ” in 1 Corinthians 15:23.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB regularly presents the term as “Christ,” including phrases such as “Christ crucified,” “in Christ,” and “body of Christ.” In 1 Corinthians 10:4 it renders “the Christ”; These renderings show the verse-level presentation rather than a separate meaning for each phrase.
