1 Corinthians 10:15
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.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
