Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g3725 Greek: horion

Coast, Coasting:

"a bound, boundary, limit, frontier" (akin to horizo, "to bound, limit"), is rendered "coasts" ten times in the AV, but "borders" in Mat 4:13, and is always translated "borders" in the RV.
See BORDER.

B-1 Adjective Strong's Number: g3882 Greek: paralios

Coast, Coasting:

"by the sea" (para, "by," hals, "salt"), hence denotes "a sea coast," Luk 6:17. In the Sept., Gen 49:13; Deu 1:7; 33:19; Jos 9:1; 11:3 (twice); Job 6:3; Isa 9:1.

C-1 Verb Strong's Number: g3881 Greek: paralego

Coast, Coasting:

is used, in the Middle Voice, as a nautical term, "to sail past," Act 27:8, "coasting along;" Act 27:13, "sailed by."

Notes:

(1) Methorion (meta, "with," and A), in Mar 7:24, is translated "borders."

(2) The phrase "upon the sea coast," Mat 4:13, AV, translates parathalassios (para, "by," thalassa, "the sea"), RV, "by the sea."

(3) Meros, "a part," is translated "coasts" in Mat 15:21; 16:13, AV (RV, "parts,"); "country," RV, in Act 19:1, AV "coasts;" this refers to the high land in the interior of Asia Minor.
See BEHALF, CRAFT, PART, PARTICULAR, PIECE, PORTION, RESPECT, SOMEWHAT, SORT.

(4) Chora, "a country," rendered "coasts" in Act 26:20, AV, is corrected in the RV to "country."
See COUNTRY, FIELD, GROUND, LAND, REGION.

(5) In Act 27:2 the phrase in the RV, "on the coast of," translates the preposition kata, "along," and the complete clause, "unto the places on the coast of Asia," RV, is curiously condensed in the AV to "by the coasts of Asia."
