I'm happy to talk about the Aramaic text of the Eastern Peshitta.
Concerning 1 Cor 13:3, and the variant you say is the true reading, the 1st thing I would want you to show, is what Aramaic text has the variant reading of "if I give my body so that I may glory."
You said:
Which one?
Clement of Alexandria in his book The Stromata (195 A.D.) shows that the reading is "to be burned" not "so that I may glory". He wrote this just about 100 years after the last Apostle died. And this reading is attested to be the reading in the Greek text, long before we see it in the oldest Greek manuscripts that are extant today, and which reading agrees with the Aramaic text.
To make a claim is one thing, to verify it with actual proof is quite another. I deal with real evidence. If you can bring some to the table, I will be happy to examine it.
