St. Paul certainly exercised the power of binding and loosing from sin and the effects of sin in the case of the incestuous Corinthian. In 1 Cor. V., 3, we find him saying, “I have already judged him that hath done so”; and in 2 Cor. II., 10, he justifies his forgiveness of the repentant man by saying, “If I have pardoned anything, I have done it in the person of Christ.”
