Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g3077 Greek: lupe

Grief, Grieve:

signifies "pain," of body or mind; it is used in the plural in 1Pe 2:19 only, RV, "griefs" (AV, "grief"); here, however, it stands, by metonymy, for "things that cause sorrow, grievances;" hence Tyndale's rendering, "grief," for Wycliffe's "sorews;" everywhere else it is rendered "sorrow," except in Hbr 12:11, where it is translated "grievous" (lit., "of grief").
See HEAVINESS, SORROW.

B-1 Verb Strong's Number: g3076 Greek: lupeo

Grief, Grieve:

akin to A, denotes

(a), in the Active Voice, "to cause pain, or grief, to distress, grieve," e.g., 2Cr 2:2 (twice, Active and Passive Voices); 2Cr 2:5 (twice), RV, "hath caused sorrow" (AV, "have caused grief," and "grieved"); 2Cr 7:8, "made (you) sorry;" Eph 4:30, of grieving the Holy Spirit of God (as indwelling the believer);

(b) in the Passive Voice, "to be grieved, to be made sorry, to be sorry, sorrowful," e.g., Mat 14:9, RV, "(the king) was grieved" (AV, "was sorry"); Mar 10:22, RV, "(went away) sorrowful" (AV, "grieved"); Jhn 21:17, "(Peter) was grieved;" Rom 14:15, "(if... thy brother) is grieved;" 2Cr 2:4, "(not that) ye should be made sorry," RV, AV, "ye should be grieved."
See HEAVINESS, SORROW, SORROWFUL, SORRY.

B-2 Verb Strong's Number: g4818 Greek: sunlupeo

Grief, Grieve:

or sullupeo, is used in the Passive Voice in Mar 3:5, "to be grieved" or afflicted together with a person, said of Christ's "grief" at the hardness of heart of those who criticized His healing on the Sabbath day; it here seems to suggest the sympathetic nature of His grief because of their self-injury. Some suggest that the sun indicates the mingling of "grief" with His anger.

B-3 Verb Strong's Number: g4727 Greek: stenazo

Grief, Grieve:

"to groan" (of an inward, unexpressed feeling of sorrow), is translated "with grief" in Hbr 13:17 (marg. "groaning"). It is rendered "sighed" in Mar 7:34; "groan," in Rom 8:23; 2Cr 5:2, 4; "murmur," in Jam 5:9, RV (AV, "grudge").
See GROAN, MURMUR, SIGH.

Notes:

(1) Diaponeo, "to work out with labor," in the Passive Voice, "to be sore troubled," is rendered "being grieved" in Act 4:2; 16:18, AV (RV, "sore troubled").
See TROUBLE. In some mss., Mar 14:4.

(2) Prosochthizo, "to be angry with," is rendered "was grieved" in Hbr 3:10, 17, AV (RV, "was displeased).
See DISPLEASE.
