Context of Romans 16:20
18For such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. 19For your obedience has reached to all. I rejoice therefore as it regards you; but I wish you to be wise [as] to that which is good, and simple [as] to evil. But the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. 21Timotheus, my fellow-workman, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you. 22I Tertius, who have written this epistle, salute you in [the] Lord.

Commentaries on Romans 16:20
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 20The God of peace - Who neither sends nor favors such disturbers of the tranquillity of his Church. Shall bruise Satan - Shall give you the dominion over the great adversary of your souls, and over all his agents who, through his influence, endeavor to destroy your peace and subvert your minds. Several critics suppose that the word Satan is a sort of collective term here, by which all opposers and adversaries are meant; and especially those false teachers…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 20And the God of peace - The God who promotes peace; Romans 15:33. Will bruise - The “language” here refers to the prediction in Genesis 3:15. It here means to “subdue, to gain the victory over.” It denotes Paul‘s confidence that they “would” gain the victory, and would be able to overcome all the arts of those who were endeavoring to sow discord and contention among them. Satan - The word “Satan” is Hebrew, meaning originally “an accuser, a calumniator,”…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 17-20Verses 17-20 How earnest, how endearing are these exhortations! Whatever differs from the sound doctrine of the Scriptures, opens a door to divisions and offences. If truth be forsaken, unity and peace will not last long.

They corrupt the head by deceiving the heart; perverting the judgments by winding themselves into the affections…Read the comment

Christ, the promised descendant of Eve, will defeat Satan. This victory will be shared with the church, which stands under Christ’s authority (compare Matthew 16:18–19).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2020. And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly--The apostle encourages the Romans to persevere in resisting the wiles of the devil with the assurance that, as good soldiers of Jesus Christ, they are "shortly" to receive their discharge, and have the satisfaction of "putting their feet upon the neck" of that formidable enemy--symbol familiar, probably, in all languages to express not only the completeness of the defeat, but the abject…Read the comment
