Theres no list. Bibical verses are divided into three categories :

1- Meaning (not wording) is accepted. This is if the meaning is mentioned in authentic Islamic teachings.

2- Maskooton Anhu : Where one has a neutral position and remains silent towards an issue. This is with verses that arent against Islamic teachings, nor are they with them.

3- Rejected : If the verses contradict Islamic teachings.

Note that I am using the word "verses" lightly here, as what is available now is narrations of men, and in greek etc.

Some like to mention the Gospel of Barnabas which mentions prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. However, it remains to be anecdotal evidence, as we dont know for sure the exact history behind it. So although certain meanings in it are correct, we cannot believe in it in particular, as something authentic from God and the same three points mentioned above apply to it as well.

We dont accept any unproven narrations from prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and deal with hadeeths very carefully and have a whole "science" regarding authenticity of hadeeths and their different categories. So attributing something to Allah, of course, isnt taken lightly. It cannot be done without total and complete authenticity, which isnt available in texts like "The Gospel according to St John, The Gospel according to St Matthew" etc.

Injil(bible) was revealed for the people of Isa :as:. By the time of our beloved Rasoolullah it was corrupted. By the revelation of the Quran it has abrogated Injil and earlier scriptures. So basically we should not be concerning ourselves with the bible. period.

Allah knows best.

For instance, if the Bible has verses that contain the same meaning of the following verses of Qur'aan. Then we accept this meaning for sure.

"Relate in the Book (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East. She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them. Then We sent her our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects. She said, 'I seek refuge from you to God Most Gracious! Do not come near me, if you fear God!' He said, 'No, I am only a messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a holy son.' She said, 'How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?' He said, 'So (it will be). Your Lord says, 'That is easy for Me, and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men, and a Mercy from Us. It is a matter (so) decreed'" (19:16-21, the Chapter of Mary)

"Behold! The angels said, 'Oh Mary! God has chosen you and purified you, chosen you above the women of all nations. Oh Mary! Worship your Lord devoutly. Prostrate yourself, and bow down (in prayer) with those who bow down'" (3:42-43).

"And (remember) she who guarded her chastity. We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples (21:91).

[While describing people who were good examples for others] "...And Mary, the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity. And We breathed into (her body) of Our spirit. She testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations, and was one of the devout (servants)" (66:12).

"Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how God makes His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!" (5:75).
