'Approve' in the Bible

Although they fully know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.

and know his will and approve the superior things because you receive instruction from the law,

Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God -- what is good and well-pleasing and perfect.
