In search of a word that means 'to make goodness manifest'

Question

Does the English language contain a word that bears the meaning 'to make goodness manifest'?

I have found that 'condemn' holds a meaning in close opposite to this, but I have yet to find a suitable antonym.

Any and all help is very much appreciated!

If you are looking for the opposite of condemn, the most accurate word would be Praise.
