Daniel 6:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ Then this Daniel began distinguishing himself ^[a]among the commissioners and satraps because ^[b]he possessed an ^(A)extraordinary spirit, and the king planned to appoint him over the ^(B)entire kingdom. ⁴ Then the commissioners and satraps began ^(C)trying to find a ground of accusation against Daniel in regard to ^[c]government affairs; but they could find ^(D)no ground of accusation or evidence of corruption, inasmuch as he was faithful, and no negligence or corruption was to be found in him. ⁵ Then these men said, “We will not find any ground of accusation against this Daniel unless we find it against him with regard to the ^(E)law of his God.”
