The earliest copies we have of New Testament are not complete, indeed most of them would not even be one complete verse. But there are exceptions to this. There are too many to name in detail so I will direct you to this site: here. It contains all the manuscripts consulted for the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament, 27th edition.
If you have no idea what all these mean. Here are some pointers: 1) the first ~100 or so, are the papyri manuscripts which are the oldest manuscripts of the New Testament we know. Most of these are mere fragments, but they date anywhere from the early second century to the fifth (many from the third/fourth). The best of these manuscripts is P46 which contains a large portion of the Pauline epistles dating to the early second century; this manuscript resides in the Chester Beatty Collection although some of it at the University of Michigan. Also of note is the very early fragment from John’s gospel known as P52 (dating from perhaps the late first century though most say c. 125).
2)If you scroll down some more you will find the Uncials. Uncials are capital letter manuscripts in use from c. 4th century- 9th century. The best Unicials are Codex Sinaiticus (abbreviated by the Hebrew letter aleph or the code 01), which dates from the mid fourth century and located in the Russian National Library, Codex Alexandrinus (abbreviated A or 02), which is from the 5th century and located in the British library, and Codex Vaticanus (abbreviated B or 03), which is from the 4th century and located in the Vatican. All three of these codices were at one time copies of the entire New Testament.
Hope that helps.

Some of the earliest papyri:Sorry, I know this has been asked ad-nauseum but what are the earliest copies of the gospels and letters of Paul dated to? Where are these copies currently kept?
Thanks.
Papyrus 52 (John 18:31-33, 37-38) - Generally accepted as the earliest extant record of a canonical New Testament text, dating from somewhere around the 2nd century AD. The exact time frame is still a matter of debate, though it is usually listed as being made in ca. AD 125 in standard reference works. It is presently conserved at the John Rylands University Library at Manchester.
Papyrus 90 (John 18:36-19:1, 19:1-7) - A small fragment of John found at Oxyrhynchus, dating from the late 2nd century.
Papyrus 98 (Revelation 1:13-2:1) - A late 2nd century fragment of Revelation, now at the Institut Français d’Archéologie Orientale at Cairo.
Papyrus 104 (Matthew 21:34-37; 43, 45) - One of the earliest surviving texts of Matthew, now in the Papyrology Rooms at Sackler Library, Oxford.
Papyrus 4 (Luke 1:58-59, 62-2:1, 6-7; 3:8-4:2, 29-32, 34-35; 5:3-8, 5:30-6:16) - Dating from the late 2nd-early 3rd century AD and presently at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, this is one of the earliest manuscripts (along with Papyrus 75) of the Gospel of Luke.
Papyrus 66 (John 1:1-6:11; 6:35-14:26, 29-30; 15:2-26; 16:2-4, 6-7; 16:10-20:20, 22-23; 20:25-21:9, 12, 17) - A near complete codex of the Gospel of John, dated from ca. AD 200. Part of the Bodmer Papyri (a group of twenty-two papyri discovered in Egypt in 1952, named after their purchaser Swiss bibliophile Martin Bodmer), the manuscript is kept at the Bibliotheca Bodmeriana, in Cologny, Switzerland outside Geneva.
Papyrus 46 (parts of Romans; Hebrews; 1-2 Corinthians; Ephesians; Galatians; Philippians; Colossians; parts of 1 Thessalonians) - This manuscript, most likely dating from between AD 175 to AD 225, contains most of the Pauline epistles. Some leaves are housed at the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin (part of the Chester Beatty Papyri), and others are in the University of Michigan.
Papyrus 75 (Luke 3:18-24:53 + John 1-15) - One of the Bodmer Papyri, presently at the Vatican Library. Containing half the text of both Luke (of which it is one of the earliest witnesses along with Papyrus 4) and John, the manuscript is dated from AD 175 to AD 225.
Papyrus 45 (Matthew 20-21, 25-26; Mark 4-9, 11-12; Luke 6-7, 9-14; John 4-5, 10-11; Acts 4-17) - A heavily damaged and fragmented manuscript containing text from all four Gospels as well as the Acts of the Apostles, probably created around AD 250 in Egypt. The manuscript is currently housed at the Chester Beatty Library except for one leaf containing Matt. 25:41-26:39 which is at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna.
