M TR read "to be burned" instead of "so that I may boast." The Peshitta Aramaic word can mean either "to burn" or "to boast"
4 Love is patient and is kind; love does not envy. Love does not brag, is not proud,

But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
