     And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (KJV)

Declension

Indeclinable; the word seems to not have been in use in Gothic, and is only found as a transliteration: see the quotation above, and compare its translation in the King James Version.
