The following information is from section 17.8.2 (titled The Bible and Other Sacred Works) in the 9th Edition of the Turabian Manual. Notice below that “N” stands for Notes, which include both footnotes and endnotes. That means this same format applies when you are using footnotes or endnotes. The only difference is where the notes will appear.

17.8.2 The Bible and Other Sacred Works

Cite the Bible and sacred works of other religious traditions in footnotes, endnotes, 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 books (see 24.6); consult your instructor 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.

Traditional abbreviations:

N:

1. 1 Thess. 4:11, 5:2–5, 5:14.

Shorter abbreviations:

N:

2. 2 Sm 11:1–17, 11:26–27; 1 Chr 10:13–14.

Since books and numbering differ among versions 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).

N:

3. 2 Kings 11:8 (New Revised Standard Version).

4. 1 Cor. 6:1–10 (NAB).

For citations from the sacred works of other religious traditions, adapt the general pattern for biblical citations as appropriate (see 24.6.5).
