Romans 9:2

Israel’s Rejection of Christ

1 I ^atell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,

2 ^athat I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart.

3 For ^aI could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my¹ countrymen according to the flesh,

4 who are Israelites, ^ato whom pertain the adoption, ^bthe glory, ^cthe covenants, ^dthe giving of the law, ^ethe service of God, and ^fthe promises;

5 ^aof whom are the fathers and from ^bwhom, according to the flesh, Christ came, ^cwho is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.

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.
