Phil,
There is no variant in the Aramaic text... or do you know of one?
That is what I wanted you to show, since you said "There is actually an Aramaic text/s with this mathematically verified reading in it"
If there is a variant Aramaic word in 1 cor 13:3, then I haven't seen it. They all have the same word there, but, we do have a variant in the Greek texts, sure enough, which renders the one Aramaic word in two different ways.
This should tell you something...
Whether the right rendering in Greek or in English should be "burn" or "boast", is up for discussion.
