'Commend' in the Bible

"And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace. He is able to build you up and to give you your inheritance among His people.

For judges and magistrates are to be feared not by right-doers but by wrong-doers. You desire--do you not? --to have no reason to fear your ruler. Well, do the thing that is right, and then he will commend you.

and whoever in this way devotedly serves Christ, God takes pleasure in him, and men highly commend him.

Now I commend you for remembering me in everything, and because you hold fast truths and practices precisely as I have taught them to you.

Nay, we have renounced the secrecy which marks a feeling of shame. We practice no cunning tricks, nor do we adulterate God's Message. But by a full clear statement of the truth we strive to commend ourselves in the presence of God to every human conscience.

Earnestly seek to commend yourself to God as a servant who, because of his straightforward dealing with the word of truth, has no reason to feel any shame.
