Today this verse from Romans 16 struck me as really funny:
20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.
The contrast between "God of PEACE" and "CRUSHING Satan under foot" (meaning stomping/destroying/killing) feels wonderfully oxymoronic.
It's like Satan represents everything that is wrong with the world and so the only path to true peace is to obliterate him. Violently.
On a side note, it is curious that God will be the actor - He will be doing the crushing - but He will use the feet of believers as His means.
We will get to help God bring lasting peace by stomping on Satan's head!
