SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:30
Porque un solo Dios es de todos , el cual justificar por la fe la circuncisin, y por la fe la incircuncisin.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 3:30
Verse 30. Seeing it is one God] epiper eiv o qeov. This has been rendered, Seeing God is one. It however makes little difference in the sense: the apostle's meaning most evidently is, it is one and the same God who made both Jews and Gentiles, who shall justify-pardon, the circumcision-the believing Jews, by faith; and the uncircumcision-the believing Gentiles, by the same faith; as there is but one saviour and one atonement provided for the whole. It is fanciful to suppose that the apostle has one meaning when he says, ek pistewv, BY faith, and a different meaning when he says, dia thv pistewv, THROUGH faith. Both the prepositions are to be understood in precisely the same sense; only the addition of the article thv, in the last case, extends and more pointedly ascertains the meaning. It is one and the same God who shall justify the believing Jews by faith; and the believing Gentiles dia thv pistewv, by THAT SAME faith.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 30. Seeing it is one God , etc..] God is one in nature and essence, though there are three persons in the Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; whence it appears, that he that is the God of the Jews, is also the God of the Gentiles, or there would be more gods than one; and that these are justified in one and the same manner, or God must be divided; for God, as he is one in nature, so he is one in will, in his promises, and in the methods of his grace: which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith . The objects of justification are the circumcision, the circumcised Jews, and the uncircumcision, the uncircumcised Gentiles; the circumcision of the one does not forward, and the uncircumcision of the other does not hinder, nor neither of them effect the grace of justification: the justifier of them is one and the same, who is God; and the matter of their justification is the same, which is the righteousness of Christ; and the manner of it, or the means of their comfortable apprehension of it, is the same; for those phrases, by faith, and through faith, mean one and the same thing; (see Philippians 3:9).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-31 - God will have the great work of the justification and salvation of sinners carried on from first to last, so as to shut out boasting. Now if we were saved by our own works, boasting would not be excluded. But the way of justification by faith for ever shuts out boasting. Ye believers are not left to be lawless; faith is a law, it is a workin grace, wherever it is in truth. By faith, not in this matter an act of obedience, or a good work, but forming the relation between Christ an the sinner, which renders it proper that the believer should be pardoned and justified for the sake of the Saviour, and that the unbeliever who is not thus united or related to him, should remai under condemnation. The law is still of use to convince us of what is past, and to direct us for the future. Though we cannot be saved by it as a covenant, yet we own and submit to it, as a rule in the hand of the Mediator __________________________________________________________________

3:30 {If so be that God is one} (eiper heis ho qeos). Correct text rather than epeiper. It means "if on the whole."By a species of rhetorical politeness it is used of that about which there is no doubt" (Thayer. Cf. #1Co 8:5; 15:15; Ro 8:9. {By faith} (ek pistews). "Out of faith," springing out of. {Through faith} (dia tes pistews). "By means of the faith" (just mentioned). ek denotes source, dia intermediate agency or attendant circumstance.
