Your first two passages speak of him CRUCIFIED and not a word about his
resurrection.
In Paul's mention of the crucifixion, the resurrection was implicit. Many
were crucified, why would Jesus' be any different unless the resurrection
was in view? The reference to crucifuxion also would bring to mind OT
prophecies relating to the crucifixion of the Messiah, thus, the
resurrection.

I don't have the perspective that he said it "many times." What I mean is
that the resurrection was not central to the gospel of Christ BEFORE the
actual event of his resurrection. Otherwise, why were they not expecting
it?
Both David and Isaiah prophecied the resurrection. Surely those familiar
with the Prophets would have expected this, especially the Bereans (Acts
17:11), if, indeed, Jesus was the Messiah. Their accepting the gospel prior
to the resurrection was based on the belief that Jesus WAS the messaiah, or
at least that he was the Son of God, and on that faith their sins were
forgiven. Had he NOT been resurrected, then their faith would have been in
vain, and they still would be in sin. (1 Cor 15 again).
Acts 13:32-37:
32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was
made unto the fathers,
[NOTE: "glad tidings": Strongs: G2097
εὐαγγελίζω
euaggelizō
yoo-ang-ghel-id'-zo
From G2095 and G32; to announce good news (evangelize) especially the
gospel: - declare, bring (declare, show) glad (good) tidings, preach (the
gospel).]
33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath
raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art
my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to
return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies
of David.
35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine
Holy One to see corruption.
36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God,
fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
