Your argument was that the phrase...brothers and sisters...was sufficient for the verse to be speaking of corporate worship. A simple search and look for the phrase...brothers and sisters...would readily discover this to be false.

What scripture depicts it as corporate worship?

Sure, but this passage isn't referring to corporate worship. It is instruction for daily living.

Brothers and sisters describes the audience; not the setting.
