[B-Greek] 1 Cor 10:13 humas

Greetings to all! I was on this list previously, but
due to computer problems I was off for quite some
time. I have been self-studying for a couple of years
and it has been slow going (steady, progressive, but
SLOW!).  

I wanted to get some feedback on a question I have
been wondering about specifically related to 1 Cor
10:13, but I'm sure has a much broader scope.  It has
to do with the use of 'humas' (and associated 2nd
person plural verbs). Is there anything more to
'humas' than simply 'you' in the plural?  Does it
convey a sense of community and not just a collection
of individuals? That is, could it mean 'all of you in
community' are able to resist temptation as opposed to
'all of you individually' can resist temptation? 

Or is this asking too much of a pronoun?

Peace,
Brian
