1 Corinthians 10:17

For we [being] many are one bread. One loaf. There being one loaf implies that we Christians, though many, are all one body, and joint participators of the one body of Christ. Paul had no conception of a divided church.

1 Corinthians 12:27

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. All were "baptized into one body" (1Co 12:13), and hence are severally members or parts of the one body, with offices to discharge like those of the members of the human body.
