Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
3:29-30 Paul uses the foundational Jewish commitment to monotheism to argue for universal access to God’s forgiveness. If there is only one God, then he is equally the God of both Jews and Gentiles. All people must be able to come to God on the same terms, through faith.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact
εἴπερ
if_indeed
Paul uses if as if the rest of the verse were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might misunderstand and think that what Paul is saying is not certain, then you can translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation, (without either comma preceding): “Since we know” or “Because it is true that”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
εἴπερ
if_indeed
This phrase introduces the reason why Paul could say in the previous verse that God is also the God of the Gentiles. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a reason clause. Alternate translation: “since, indeed” or “we know this is true because, indeed”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἷς ὁ Θεός
one ¬the God_‹is›
Paul speaks of God as if he were a number. He means that God is the one and only true God for both Jews and Gentiles. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation: “there is only one God”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish
ὃς δικαιώσει περιτομὴν ἐκ πίστεως, καὶ ἀκροβυστίαν διὰ τῆς πίστεως
who /will_be/_justifying /the/_circumcision by faith and /the/_uncircumcision through the faith
This phrase gives further information about who our God is. It is not making a distinction between the one true God and false gods. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “he is the one who will justify the circumcision by faith, and he will justify the uncircumcision through the same faith”
Note 5 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
περιτομὴν & ἀκροβυστίαν
/the/_circumcision & /the/_uncircumcision
The words circumcision and uncircumcision are singular nouns that refer to groups of people. If your language does not use singular nouns in that way, you can use a different expression. Alternate translation: “the circumcised people … the uncircumcised people”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
περιτομὴν & ἀκροβυστίαν
/the/_circumcision & /the/_uncircumcision
Here Paul uses the circumcision to refer to the Jews by associating them with circumcision, and he uses the uncircumcision figuratively to refer to the Gentiles by associating them with uncircumcision. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the Jewish people … the non-Jewish people”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ἐκ πίστεως & διὰ τῆς πίστεως
by faith & through the faith
See how you translated this phrase in 3:26.
