'Approves' in the Bible

David said to the whole Israelite assembly, "If you so desire and the Lord our God approves, let's spread the word to our brothers who remain in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites in their cities, so they may join us.

If the king approves, let an order be drawn up authorizing their destruction, and I will pay 375 tons of silver to the accountants for deposit in the royal treasury.”

If the king approves of me and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and perform my request, may the king and Haman come to the banquet I will prepare for them. Tomorrow I will do what the king has asked.”

Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people cannot dwell with you.

The Lord approves of the godly, but he hates the wicked and those who love to do violence.

The king approves the wise servant, but he is angry at anyone who acts shamefully.

The craftsman encourages the metalsmith, the one who wields the hammer encourages the one who pounds on the anvil. He approves the quality of the welding, and nails it down so it won't fall over."

Do you have a conviction? Keep it to yourself before God. The man who does not condemn himself by what he approves is blessed.

For I must tell you, brethren, that the Good News which was proclaimed by me is not such as man approves of.

But as God tested and approved us before entrusting us with His Good News, so in what we say we are seeking not to please men but to please God, who tests and approves our motives.
