because you have sinned
The connecting word because connects the reason (you have sinned), with the result (you deserve to die). (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result)

The connecting word but introduces a contrast relationship. You would expect God to be angry with you because of your sin. Instead, he punished Jesus. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-contrast)
