This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rom 9:2. Λύπη, grief, [heaviness]) In spiritual things grief and (see the end of the eighth chapter) joy in the highest degree may exist together. Paul was sensible, from how great benefits, already enumerated, the Jews excluded themselves, and at the same time he declares [makes it evident], that he does not say those things, which he has to say, in an unfriendly spirit towards his persecutors.-μοι-τῇ καρδίᾳ μου, to me-in my heart) These are equivalent in each half of the verse.
