I very much appreciate Dr. Mounce's point regarding our being aware of the NT (and OT) authors' use "you" as singular or plural. This particular verse makes that point, for sure. --- However, Dr. Mounce's homily (i.e., pep talk) is an excellent example of what is wrong with contemporary "Christian" sermons. --- The actual context is Paul's warning about different groups in the Corinthian church looking for leaders as heroes; the only one who is qualified for that role is Christ Jesus. (In order to find the sin of gossip in the verse or context, one has to do some pretty extreme mental gymnastics.) --- "Sincere eisegesis is never a substitute for correct exegesis." – Anonymous
