Provided each Book starts on a new page, Word can most easily do that if you use a different odd/even page layout, and a set of three STYLEREF fields in each header (left-aligned on odd pages & right-aligned on even pages). The:
• 1st STYLEREF field would reference the Style used for the Book name
• 2nd STYLEREF field would reference the Style used for the Chapter number
• 3rd STYLEREF field would reference the Style used for the Verse number
This, of course, means formatting each Book name, Chapter number & Verse number with Styles that aren't used anywhere else in the document. You might even define Chapter number & Verse number Character Styles just for this purpose. The Book name Style could probably be done using one of Word's Heading Styles.

On the:
• odd pages the STYLEREF fields would each require no switches. The field codes on the odd pages would look like:
{STYLEREF "Book"} {={STYLEREF "Chapter"}-{={STYLEREF "Verse"}-1 \# "1;;0"} \# "0"}:{STYLEREF "Verse"}
• even pages the STYLEREF fields would each require the \l switch. The field code on the odd pages would look like:
{STYLEREF "Book"} {STYLEREF "Chapter" \l}:{ STYLEREF "Verse" \l}

where Book, Chapter & Verse are the Style names.

Note: The STYLEREF field for the even page chapters is enclosed in a formula field. To create that arrangement, all the field brace pairs (i.e. '{ }') for the field coding are created in the document itself, via Ctrl-F9 (Cmd-F9 on a Mac); you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. Nor is it practicable to add them via any of the standard Word dialogues.

For further detail on the STYLEREF field, see:

See attached demo, which uses the 'Heading 1' Style for the Book names. The Chapter & Verse numbers use 'Chapter' & 'Verse' Character Styles, respectively
