“And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;”
For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, even though I don't fear God or care what people think — for some time he refused: the persistence of the refusal before the eventual capitulation. The internal monologue acknowledges his own character: even though I don't fear God or care about people.
