Shakespeare belonged to the Church of England as did everyone else in England and so he used the same Bible as everyone else. Later in his life this would be The Bible commissioned by King James.

nellie angel Smith has written: 'the latin element in shakespeare and the bible; an analysis of the several languages represented in the vocabulary of shakespeare and the king james version of the bible'
No, all of the Bible, even the Christian parts, were written over a thousand years before Shakespeare was born. If you are thinking that Shakespeare contributed to the King James Translation of the Bible which came out in Shakespeare's lifetime, again the answer is no. We know the names of the scholars who worked on the project and Shakespeare was not one of them. Nor is it likely that a high school graduate (maybe, he may not have even finished) with "small Latin and less Greek" would have been invited to participate in the translation of ancient texts from Hebrew, Greek and Latin sources. It is as laughable as suggesting that Elvis Presley wrote the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
The bible has definitely sold more then Shakspeare , according to the Guiness record books.
