Trubar must be credited for the fact that Slovene Protestantism was theologically mainly based on the apostle Paul. Theology-driven researchers of Trubar emphasize in particular his pastoral mission in the sense that his primary goal was preaching and that writing in Slovene came second. Repeated reading of Trubar's texts collected in Biblia Slavica gradually reveals that he made it easier for himself to express his ideas by using combinations. He repeated old phrases and statements and complemented them with new sentence parts. In the manner of a Slovene Paul, Trubar enthusiastically sheds light on the "gospel" from numerous angles. Thanks to Paul or on his own initiative, he differentiates in "timu Euangeliu, Iogerskiumu Vuku" between "shtima inu nauuk" - between the sound and message levels of the word.
