You can find below the details:

Matthew 24:19: "And woe (to) the (ones) having (a child) in (the) womb, and (to) the (ones) nursing in those days."

The parallel account in Luke reads: 

Luke 21:23: "Woe (to) the (ones) having (a child) in (the) womb, and (to) the (ones) nursing in those days. For there-will-be (a) great distress upon the land, and WRATH (against) this people."

Romans 9:22: "But (what) if God, wanting to-demonstrate (His) WRATH and to-make-known His power, bore with much patience vessels (of) WRATH having-been-prepared for destruction,"



Matthew 24:38: "For as in those days before the flood they-were eating and drinking, marrying and giving-in-marriage, until which day Noah entered into the ark,"

Matthew 24:39: "and did not know until the flood came and took-away everyone, so also will-be the coming (of) the Son (of) Man."

A similar account in Luke reads: 

Luke 17:26: "“And as it-happened in the days (of) Noah, so it-will-be also in the days (of) the Son (of) Man —"

Luke 17:27: "they-were-eating, drinking, marrying, being-given-in-marriage, until which day Noah entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed everyone."

Luke 17:29: "But (on) that day Lot departed from Sodom, it-rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed (apōlesen 622 in Greek) everyone."

Romans 9:22: "But (what) if God, wanting to-demonstrate (His) wrath and to-make-known His power, bore with much patience vessels (of) wrath having-been-prepared for destruction (apōleian 684 in Greek),"

(The Greek word for "destruction" (apóleia 684 in Greek, noun) used in Romans 9:22 comes from a presumed derivative of the Greek word for "destroyed" (apollumi 622 in Greek, verb) which is used in Luke 17:29).



Matthew 24:22: "And if those days had not been-shortened, no flesh WOULD-HAVE-BEEN-SAVED. But those days will-be-shortened for the sake of the chosen (ones)."

Romans 9:27: "But Isaiah cries-out concerning Israel: “If the number (of) the sons (of) Israel should-be like the sand (of) the sea, the remnant WILL-BE-SAVED."

Romans 9:28: "For (the) Lord will-accomplish (His) word upon the earth, completing and cutting-short”."



Matthew 24:38: "For as in those days before the flood they-were eating and drinking, marrying and giving-in-marriage, until which day Noah entered into the ark,"

Matthew 24:39: "and did not know until the flood came and took-away everyone, so also will-be the coming (of) the Son (of) Man."

A similar account in Luke reads: 

Luke 17:26: "“And as it-happened in the days (of) Noah, so it-will-be also in the days (of) the Son (of) Man —"

Luke 17:27: "they-were-eating, drinking, marrying, being-given-in-marriage, until which day Noah entered into the ark and the flood came and destroyed everyone."

Luke 17:29: "But (on) that day Lot departed from SODOM, it-rained fire and sulphur from heaven and destroyed everyone."

Romans 9:29: "And just as Isaiah said-before [in Isa 1:9]: “Unless (the) Lord (of) Hosts had-left-behind (a) seed (for) us, we-would-have-become like SODOM, and we-would-have-been like Gomorrah”."
