This is soooo out of context. Paul, of course, was not talking about the Chirstian Bible, but of the Jewish Bible. There was no Christian Bible for another 350 years after Paul. The Gosples weren't evebn written yet.
He was talking to well-to-do pagan Greeks and possibly Jews. What would they know of Holy Tradition?
Besides, most of the poeple then were illiterate and books were not owned by an average Joe.

Yes ... but they are written now ... and canonized.
Your point seems to be that Paul admonished his hearers to not go beyond what was even a smaller selection of scripture than what we have today.
Do you think that Paul would admonish christians today to go beyond what God has given to us in the scriptures ?

Who would one such as Paul be talking to today ?
Does the majority of the world know of Holy Tradition today ?
Besides, most of the poeple then were illiterate and books were not owned by an average Joe.
Well, it is quite obvious that he was speaking to those who taught in the church (and thus, could read), ... such as Apollos and himself.
Do you believe that Paul would make some different admonition to christian teachers today ?
