Because Adam and Eve disobeyed God

The connecting word Because connects the result (God destroyed the world), with the reason (Adam and Eve disobeyed God and brought sin into the world). (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result)

brought sin into

This could be translated as: “caused sin to enter.”

But some day God will create

The connecting word But introduces a contrast relationship. It is expected that God will destroy the world because of sin. Instead of leaving it destroyed, God creates a new heaven and a new earth. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-contrast)

a new heaven

This could also be translated as: “a new sky” or “a new universe.” It refers to a new set of stars and everything else in the sky.

a new earth

This current earth on which we live will be replaced by a new and improved one.
