Neither takes precedence... Both are equally Salvific.
Without the Church, the Bible is a loaded handgun in a room full of children, without the Bible, the Church is devoid of instruction. The Bible is the manual on obtaining eternal Salvation, the Church is the teacher and guardian that ensures that the Faith in the Bible is correct, unchanged, and properly passed on. One cannot properly exist with the other.
