'Commended' in the Bible

When they had appointed elders for them in every church, having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

From there they sailed to Antioch, from which they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had accomplished.

I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am a nobody.
