Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Seeing it is one God - . 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 Savior and one atonement provided for the whole.
It is fanciful to suppose that the apostle has one meaning when he says, , By faith, and a different meaning when he says, , Through faith. Both the prepositions are to be understood in precisely the same sense; only the addition of the article , 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 , by That Same faith.
