Citing the Bible

In-Text (Parenthetical) Citation

The first time you include a parenthetical citation, indicate which version of the Bible you are citing by either underlining or italicizing the version title. Use a comma to separate the version from the book, chapter, and verse. Do not underline or italicize the book, chapter, or verse in your citation.

For example,

(New Jerusalem Bible, Ezek. 1.5-10)

If you continue to cite the same version of the Bible throughout your paper, additional citations only need to include the book abbreviation, chapter, and verses.

For example,

(Rev. 4.6-8).
