Exegesis
The first clause centers on the nominative subject phrase ho de theos tēs eirēnēs {ὁ δὲ θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης | ho de the-Ós tēs ei-RĒ-nēs} ‘but the God of peace’, where the particle de marks a mild contrast or continuation from the preceding context, and the genitive tēs eirēnēs functions attributively, characterizing God by peace.
Root and etymology
theostheta–epsilon–omicron–sigma
“God, deity”
In context — Romans 16:20
But the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet soon. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
