1 Corinthians 10:16-17
(16) The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
(17) For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
10:16-17. Paul’s point in these verses about the Lord’s Supper was like that made earlier (5:6-8). The collective worship of Christians at the Lord’s Supper expressed the unity among the members and their participation (koinonia, “fellowship”) in the blood of Christ and in the body of Christ. The one loaf of bread, of which all partake, pictured their unity as members of the one body of Christ.
