Daniel 1:8
New Living Translation (NLT)
8 But Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods.
Daniel resolved not to eat this food, either because the meat was some food forbidden by Jewish law, like pork, or because accepting the kings food and drink was the first step toward depending on his gifts and favors. Although Daniel was in a culture that did not honor God, he still obeyed God's laws.
