Some biblical scholars claim that the use of the second-person plural mandates that the action or activity described refers not to individuals but only to groups.

520 |a Some biblical scholars claim that the use of the second-person plural mandates that the action or activity described refers not to individuals but only to groups. By way of critique, this understanding of the force of the second-person plural is reductionistic, is based on a fallacious argument, makes abrupt shifts in number incomprehensible, and is not supported by examples inside and outside the NT.

All three can be used to call for individual application.
