Dan 3:16 | MHM | STEP | v. 16–18 : The three men respectfully but firmly answer the king. They say they do not need to answer him on this matter; their God is able to deliver them from the furnace and from the king’s hand. But even if God does not save them, they will not serve the king’s gods or worship the image (Daniel 3:17-18 ). Their faith is strong—they would rather die than sin against God. They do not try to defend themselves by excuses, but calmly stand by their beliefs.

But even if God does not save them, they will not serve the king’s gods or worship the image (Daniel 3:17-18 ^a). Their faith is strong—they would rather die than sin against God. They do not try to defend themselves by excuses, but calmly stand by their beliefs.
