So the text should read, "and if I surrender my body to be boast"???? No, the Greek text says:
If I give away all my possessions and hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing
In context, there is no reason to have his body burned! But if he surrenders his body [to Christ], so that he can boast about being faithful, it is empty.

As someone who has gone on record as stating that there are errors within the translations, criticized the writings of Paul, and believe the Old Testament is mostly made up fables; how do you know that the older version is accurate and not the newer one? Certainly someone must have noticed that before.
