I need help with these expression.

I have seen a sentence as such:
If you sin, won't you become the damned?
Avoid breathing vapor (unless you are the condemned)

here is "you" plural, singular, or can it be both?
and does "the damned" or "the condemend" mean a category of people or what?

  • Hi, I have seen a sentence as such: If you sin, won't you become the damned?
  • Avoid breathing vapor (unless you are the condemned ) here is "you" plural, singular, or can it be both?
  • It can be both.
  • Are you talking to one person, or are you speaking of 'all of mankind' and does "the damned" Sounds to me like a category or "the condemend" Sounds to me like one person.
