From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 12. For there is no difference. In the previous verse Paul had quoted a passage from Isa 28:16, which says that every one (pav) that believeth shall not be ashamed; that is, every one of every nation and kindred. This implies that it was not to be confined to the Jews. This thought he now further illustrates and confirms by expressly declaring that there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek. This doctrine it was one main design of the epistle to establish, and it is fully proved in the course of the argument in Romans chapters 1-4. See particularly Ro 3:26-30. When the apostle says there is no difference between them, he means in regard to the subject under discussion.
