¹⁶ Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks 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 share the one loaf.

²⁶ For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
