Unlike other book titles, the Bible should not be italicized, but it should always be capitalized:. The same applies to individual books of the Bible and to the names of the Old and New Testaments:. However, abbreviations should be used when a Bible citation appears in parentheses or in a note.
There are two widely used abbreviation styles: traditional abbreviations and shorter abbreviations. In the traditional abbreviations, some shorter names are not abbreviated, and a period appears after all names that are abbreviated.
In the shorter abbreviations, all names are abbreviated, usually to two or three letters, and no period is used. Use one or the other consistently, not a mix of the two. A full list of the traditional and shorter abbreviations for each book can be found here.

I understand that though the name of the specific book, chapter and verse, and version of the bible need to be added as a footnote if used, but why is it not entered in the bibliography?
Is it because it is considered public knowledge? I am just curious since everything else I cite in my footnotes must be included in the bibliography. Thank you. Chicago doesn't specifically state why this is, but it's a common standard across various different citation styles.
To the best of my understanding, it's just because the Bible is a very commonly cited source that comes in thousands of different editions but has standardized divisions book, chapter, verse and is readily available online. This makes it easy to recognize a Bible citation as long as it includes that information, so a bibliography entry is unnecessary. Have a language expert improve your writing.
