English Standard Version
Some people may argue that Christians shouldn't be involved in government, but rather withdraw to ensure we're not tainted by the constant striving for power or influence that you may see in government. The Bible teaches us otherwise -- it says that we should involved ourselves in government when appropriate, that we should enter the marketplace, but it tells us to do so in a way so that others can find no fault or complaint in us. We can work in those places, but we're to be faithful there, serving as our capacity allows, representing the people of God in the halls of power.
The officials who despise Daniel seek to find another way to destroy him, since his work has not left any path or error they might exploit. May we all do work in such a way, seeking to serve God by doing great work in whatever capacity we are in.
