What is the proper way to quote the bible?

Brian V asked:

If you quote the bible, what is the appropriate way to do so? Example, would this format be correct?

“I thank my God every time I remember you.” - Philippians 1:3 (New International Version)

Are the quotes in the right place? Is the hyphen between the verse and the book the right punctuation? Can you show me a reference of the appropriate way to quote the bible?
