Referring to my copy of the 4th ed. of the MLA Handbook (1995):
"When included in parenthetical references, the titles, of the books of
the Bible and of famous literary works are often abbreviated (1 Chron.
21.8, Rev. 21.3, _Oth. 4.2.7-13, _FQ 3.3.53.3)." (p. 199)
I can't find a reference for citing the Bible in a bibliography, but
the example we use in our school Research Paper Handbook
(which we based on MLA style as much as we could) is:
_Catholic _Study _Bible. New American Bible. New York: Oxford
University Press, 1990.
That is: name of book, name of translation, place, publisher, date.
Hope that helps!
