Same dative singular of pistos. Why should one be thought to mean BY faith and another THROUGH faith?

I like to inform and be informed.
In verse 30, "Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith"

re Rom 3:30
IMO, the use of the two prepositions is either but a rhetorical device with no intended difference (eg see, Cranfield, Murray, EF Harrison ) or the apostle uses ek to indicate source and dia agency (eg, see Robertson, Lenski). In either case, none of these exegetes find there what you do. But we both will believe what we will.
Thanks for your reply friend.
I’ll not go through all of the above, for Cranfield is enough. “There is not one of us who is saved yet. We are trusting God for our salvation” as he writes of I Peter 1-13.
Peter is of the Jewish Pentecostal church, and received the Holy Ghost by “repenting and being baptized for the remission of sins”, just as He was told, and also preached. This gospel is fine for Peter for this is the gospel of John the Baptist to the Jew. Those of that gospel, just as Cranfield believes must endure until the end, for he says as much above. But I believe the foundational gospel based on Christ Jesus from heaven that tells me I am saved immediately by the One baptism done without hands, that spiritual baptism performed by the Holy Spirit.
I notice you proclaimed, Quote”
I don't wish to argue anymore dispensationalism with friend It.
But: ”Unquote.
Yet this is the very heart of the dispensational gospel that Christ Jesus gave to Paul.
So we do disagree for I do not believe as the Catholic church that we must be water baptized to be saved, for it is not a saving baptism, but a “holding” baptism until we die, i.e. if we endure until the end.
When Paul preached and wrote He had to use the word “Through” when Christ told Him. This is part of what was hidden from the beginning. This is peculiar to Paul (until others grasp this gospel), just as is the gospel of God Reconciling the world unto Himself. And just as that terrible so terrible word which so many hate, it being “dispensations”. Through faith is nowhere found in connection with salvation until after Damascus Road.
If I come preaching to you “Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision
by faith, and uncircumcision
byfaith”, I would hope you would ask me what I am talking about, for it is the same faith. If Christ really did reveal to Paul a secret, was it to tell Paul the Gentile will be saved just as the Jew? This is not what His Word teaches, for Peter informs us that the Jew can now be saved as we (me) Gentiles (Acts 15:11).
Changing Through in both of these scriptures to By simply makes a nonsensical thought.
I can’t fault you for your belief, for the masses believe this, but I am not of the masses. We can only believe what He reveals to us.
If you have time, how do you interpret Romans 5:1-2 from the Literal Bible with Strong’s numbers?
