When documenting scripture, provide an entry in the Works Cited list for the edition you consulted.
The first time you borrow from a particular work, state in the in-text citation the element that begins the works cited entry. Include in the citation the division of the work you used, rather than a page number. Subsequent citations should provide the division numbers alone.
Example:
In one of the most vivid prophetic visions in the Bible, Ezekiel saw "what seemed to be four living creatures," each with the faces of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle (New Jerusalem Bible, Exek. 1.5-10). John of Patmos echoes this passage when describing his vision (Rev. 4.6-8).
Work Cited

General terms such as "Bible" do not need to be italicized, but full and shortened titles of specific editions are italicized.
