How to Cite the Bible in IEEE (standard)

Learn how to cite the Bible, scripture, and other sacred texts in IEEE format (standard). This guide includes the reference list format, in-text citation examples, and key formatting rules.

IEEE Reference List Format

Here is the standard IEEE format for citing the Bible in your reference list:

[1] The Holy Bible, King James Version. Oxford, U.K.: Oxford Univ. Press, 1998.

IEEE In-Text Citation

Use one of these formats when referencing this source within your paper:

Parenthetical

[1]

Narrative

As stated in [1], John 3:16...

Key IEEE Formatting Rules

  • Treat the Bible as a book, beginning with the title and version.
  • Number references in order of first appearance and cite with a bracketed number.
  • Give the book, chapter, and verse instead of a page number.
  • Name the version you consulted.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Gather source information: Collect the author name, title, publication date, and URL or DOI for your Bible.
  2. Format the reference: Arrange the elements following the IEEE (standard) template shown above.
  3. Create the in-text citation: Add a parenthetical or narrative citation in your paper where you reference this source.
  4. Add to your reference list: Include the full formatted citation at the end of your paper.
  5. Double-check formatting: Verify italics, punctuation, capitalization, and hanging indents match IEEE requirements.
