Cite the Bible in text only. However, try to ensure the specific Bible reference of Book, Chapter, and Verse where it is taken from is given somewhere: it may be in the text itself, or a footnote at the bottom of the page, the end of the Chapter, or in a Reference section at the back of the book. As there are so many different versions of the Bible available it is also a good idea to mention the actual Bible Version used as they do vary.
For example,
(i) "The Bible says in Exodus 20:13 "Thou shalt not kill 1"
[with Footnote saying: " 1 King James version"]
OR
(ii) "The Bible says "Thou shalt not kill 1"
[with Footnote saying: " 1 Ex 20:13 "]
OR
(iii) "The Bible says "Thou shalt not kill 1"
[with Footnote saying: " 1 Ex 20:13 in King James version"]
OR
(iv) "The Bible says "Thou shalt not kill 1"
[with Footnote saying: " 1 From Ex 20:13 in King James version; NASB (New American Standard Bible) and NKJ (New King James) both render verse "You shall not murder."]

Quoting from the Bible requires the chapter and verse(s) and the translation. If all quotes are from the same translation, that can be noted in the text or in the first footnote. Large-scale copying is prohibited by copyright laws. Consult the front of your translation for information on how much you can legally quote.
Perhaps not. A lot of people don't bother to do it. But, at the same time... it allows the reader the opportunity to "prove to himself" whether or not the Bible really says what the writer claims it says. There are a lot of "un-biblical Bible-quotes" floating around in the world.
Quoting from any source when preparing a paper should always be acknowledged. Many education and other establishments check submissions for plagiarism using computers. They will ignore quotations which are cited in a bibiography, or in footnotes.
