'Commend' in the Bible

Now I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? We don't need letters of recommendation to you or from you as some other people do, do we?

But we have rejected shameful hidden deeds, not behaving with deceptiveness or distorting the word of God, but by open proclamation of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience before God.

We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to be proud of us, so that you may be able to answer those who take pride in outward appearance and not in what is in the heart.
