    In 1 Corinthians 12:10, the nominative singular form occurs in a list that includes various kinds of tongues; the APB renders the clause "to another the interpretation of tongues." In 1 Corinthians 14:26, the accusative singular form is one item that each person may have when the brothers assemble, and the APB renders "has an interpretation."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "the interpretation of tongues" in 1 Corinthians 12:10 and "an interpretation" in 1 Corinthians 14:26. These renderings confirm the clauses' presentation rather than isolate every aspect of the term.
