In 1 Corinthians 12:6, the genitive plural occurs in the clause about varieties, which the APB renders "varieties of workings," followed by the same God activating all things in all. In 1 Corinthians 12:10, the nominative plural names operations of powers as one item among prophecy, discernments, tongues, and interpretation; the APB renders the clause "workings of powers."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "workings" in both verses, once in "varieties of workings" and once in "workings of powers." These phrases show the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
