This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Sorrow (lupē). Because the Jews were rejecting Christ the Messiah. “We may compare the grief of a Jew writing after the fall of Jerusalem” (Sanday and Headlam).
Unceasing pain in my heart (adialeiptos odunē tēi kardiāi). Like angina pectoris. Odunē is old word for consuming grief, in N.T. only here and and 1Ti 6:10.
Unceasing (adialeiptos). Late and rare adjective (in an inscription 1 cent. b.c.), in N.T. only here and 2Ti 1:3. Two rare words together and both here only in N.T. and I and II Timothy (some small argument for the Pauline authorship of the Pastoral Epistles).
