***1Cr 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.***
And what about these?
(Christians blamed for burning Rome)
...Therefore, first those were seized who admitted their faith, and then, using the information they provided, a vast multitude not so much for the crime of burning the city, but for hatred of the human race. And perishing they were additionally made into sports: they were killed by dogs by having the hides of beasts attached to them, or they were nailed to crosses or set aflame, and, when the daylight passed away, they were used as nighttime lamps. Nero gave his own gardens for this spectacle and performed a Circus game, in the habit of a charioteer mixing with the plebs or driving about the race-course. -—Tacitus
Early Greek NT manuscripts say "a body to give to glory" [kauchswmai], and not "to be burned" [kauyhswmai]. The difference of one letter appears in Textus Receptus, and is obviously a latter-day copying error by someone who didnt know Greek.
Textus Receptus, full of similar errors, metastasized to find home in the King James version and practically every western Bible — invariably leading to a faulty understanding of the scripture, and assuming — as in this case — that the Bible says it's okay to cremate bodies, whence the Protestants got their idea that it's okay to do so.
