Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Daniel 3:16
"Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter.

18. But if not, &c.—connected with Daniel 3:18. "Whether our God deliver us, as He is able, or do not, we will not serve thy gods." Their service of God is not mercenary in its motive. Though He slay them, they will still trust in Him (Daniel 3:18- :).
