    In 1 Corinthians 12:9, the genitive plural form occurs in the clause about gifts given by the one Spirit; the APB renders the phrase "gifts of healings." In 1 Corinthians 12:28, it is listed among appointments and gifts in the assembly, while 1 Corinthians 12:30 places it in a question about whether all have such gifts.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all three verses, the APB presents the surrounding phrase as "gifts of healings." That phrase confirms the clause-level presentation rather than isolating a separate English equivalent for the lemma.
