Mark later corrected the reference to I Cor. 13:3.  Carl Conrad and Ed
Hobbs have both given good correctives to the idea of the existence of a
future subjunctive.  I would like to comment on the textual problem at I
Cor 12:3.  I am persuaded that the original is KAUXHSWMAI supported by P46,
aleph, A B and others.  Some scribe (perhaps in a scriptorum) heard that
word and wrote KAUQHSWMAI (Psi, and a many others).  Another scribe saw
that reading and changed it to KAUQHSOMAI (C D F G L the whole latin
tradition and some others).  The aorist deponent subjunctive with hINA
makes good sense here, "in order that I might boast."
