Bible verse
Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.
1 Corinthians 10:17 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 10.
13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 I speak to reasonable people; judge for yourselves what I say.
16 Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?
17 Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.
18 Consider the people of Israel: Are not those who eat the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar?
19 Am I suggesting, then, that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God. And I do not want you to be participants with demons.
21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot partake in the table of the Lord and the table of demons too.
