For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread. |
Since there is one bread (loaf), we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. |

Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf. |
For we [no matter how] numerous we are, are one body, because we all partake of the one Bread [the One Whom the communion bread represents]. |
Seeing that there is one loaf of bread, we, the many, are one body, for we all share with one another in eating from the one aforementioned loaf of bread. |

The very fact that we, many as we are, share one bread makes us all one body. |
Because there is only one loaf, so we, though many, are only one body, for we all partake of one loaf. |
