Cite the Bible and other sacred works in footnotes or parenthetical notes (see. 16.4.3). You do not need to include these works in your bibliography.

For citations from the Bible, include the abbreviated name of the book, the chapter number, and the verse number -- never a page number. Depending on the context, you may use either traditional or shorter abbreviations for the names of the books (see 24.6); consult your professor if you are unsure which form is appropriate. Use arabic numerals for chapter and verse numbers (with a colon between them) and for numbered books.

Since books and numbering differ among version of the scriptures, identify the version you are using in your first citation with either the spelled-out name or an accepted abbreviation (see 24.6.4)

NOTE:

1. 2 Kings 11:8 (New Revised Standard Version).

2. 1Cor. 6:1-10 (NAB)

3. I Thess. 4:11, 5:2-5, 5:14.
