Romans 9:2

_ _ That I have, etc. — “That I have great grief (or, sorrow) and unceasing anguish in my heart” — the bitter hostility of his nation to the glorious Gospel, and the awful consequences of their unbelief, weighing heavily and incessantly upon his spirit.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 9:2

I have great sorrow — A high degree of spiritual sorrow and of spiritual Joy may consist together, Romans 8:39. By declaring his sorrow for the unbelieving Jews, who excluded themselves from all the blessings he had enumerated, he shows that what he was now about to speak, he did not speak from any prejudice to them.
