Numbers 23:19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
19 God is not a human being who speaks falsely,
nor a mortal, who feels regret.
Is God one to speak and not act,
to decree and not bring it to pass?
Romans 3:3-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 What if some were unfaithful? Will their infidelity nullify the fidelity of God?(A) 4 Of course not! God must be true, though every human being is a liar,[a] as it is written:
“That you may be justified in your words,
and conquer when you are judged.”(B)
1 Corinthians 10:13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it.(A)

But communion with Christ is exclusive, incompatible with any other such communion (1 Cor 10:21). Compare the line of reasoning at 1 Cor 6:15.
