Citing the Bible: 

[Guidelines provided by Prof. Caroline Johnson Hodge] 

You do not need to do a footnote for biblical citations; just cite them in parentheses in the text (like the above example). You should make a general note in the bibliography (at the end) regarding which version of the Bible you used.

In text: 
Paul is talking about baptism when he writes “There is no longer Jew or Greek, slave or free, male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Gal 3:28).
