The weakest point in the chain is the strongest
If you put stress on a chain, it will eventually break at its weakest spot. This usually means one of the links in the chain which has been badly welded or is made of inferior metal. The idea is that if you have a group of people, you must assess their capabilities as a group by the least capable.
A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.
The word rope appears three times in the Bible not one of the verses say anything about the strength of rope. Also rope does not have links, a chain has links and a chain is only as strong as its weakest link
You might be thinking of the expression, "A chain is as strong as its weakest link." This means that when the ends of a chain are pulled in opposite directions, there is stress on each link; when the weakest link breaks, the chain breaks.

It means that no matter how strong the chain is, its only as strong as the weakest link. Like a team is only as good as its worst player.
A cord is stronger than the sum of the strength of the individual fibres. This is because whereas an individual fibre could have its weakest point anywhere along its length, when it is wound with other threads, this weakness will be covered up by friction from adjacent fibres. These are unlikely to have their weakest points coinciding. This contrasts with "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link". The Romans knew that a bound bundle of sticks was stronger than an individual one. This they called fasces.

This chain will be stronger obviously.
