Exegesis
Its direct object is ton Satanan {τὸν Σατανᾶν | ton sa-ta-NĀN} ‘Satan’, and the prepositional phrase hypo tous podas hymōn {ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας ὑμῶν | hy-PO tous PO-das hy-MŌN} ‘under your feet’ depicts the locus of subjugation, emphasizing the believers’ participation in the victory while God remains the true agent.
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.
