Neither corrupt nor negligent

What is the context of the word "corrupt" In Daniel 6:4?
Corrupt means:
*corrupt morally or by intemperance or sensuality; "debauch the young people with wine and women"; "Socrates was accused of corrupting young men"; "Do school counselors subvert young children?"; "corrupt the morals"
*lacking in integrity; "humanity they knew to be corrupt...from the day of Adam's creation"; "a corrupt and incompetent city government"
*bribe: make illegal payments to in exchange for favors or influence; "This judge can be bought"
*crooked: not straight; dishonest or immoral or evasive
*defile: place under suspicion or cast doubt upon; "sully someone's reputation"
*containing errors or alterations; "a corrupt text"; "spoke a corrupted version of the language"
*alter from the original
*touched by rot or decay; "tainted bacon"; "`corrupt' is archaic"

And our boy Daniel...he was none of the above.
He was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent.
They found NO corruption in him. he did his job.
My goal is to become like him...void of corruption and negligence.
I'm extraordinary because he's extraordinaty.
I need to start living like it!
