Trench's NT Synonyms
• Sea

is used (a) chiefly literally, e.g., "the Red Sea," Acts 7:36; 1 Corinthians 10:1; Hebrews 11:29; the "sea" of Galilee or Tiberias, Matthew 4:18; 15:29; Mark 6:48,49 , where the acts of Christ testified to His Deity; John 6:1; 21:1; in general, e.g., Luke 17:2; Acts 4:24; Romans 9:27; Revelation 16:3; 18:17; 20:8,13; 21:1; in combination with No. 2, Matthew 18:6; (b) metaphorically, of "the ungodly men" described in Jude 1:13 (cp. Isaiah 57:20 ); (c) symbolically, in the apocalyptic vision of "a glassy sea like unto crystal," Revelation 4:6 , emblematic of the fixed purity and holiness of all that appertains to the authority and judicial dealings of God; in Revelation 15:2 , the same, "mingled with fire," and, standing by it (RV) or on it (AV and RV marg.), those who had "come victorious from the beast" (ch. 13); of the wild and restless condition of nations, Revelation 13:1 (see Revelation 17:1,15 ), where "he stood" (RV) refers to the dragon, not John (AV); from the midst of this state arises the beast, symbolic of the final gentile power dominating the federated nations of the Roman world (see Dan., chs. 2; 7; etc.).

"the deep sea, the deep," is translated "the depth" in Matthew 18:6 , and is used of the "Sea of Cilicia" in Acts 27:5 . See DEPTH , No. 2. Pelagos signifies "the vast expanse of open water," thalassa, "the sea as contrasted with the land" (Trench, Syn., xiii).

"in the sea," lit., "of, or belonging to, the salt water" (from hals, "salt"), occurs in James 3:7 .

"by the sea," Luke 6:17 : see COAST.

"by the sea," Matthew 4:13 , see COAST , Note 2.

primarily signifies "divided into two seas" (dis, "twice," and thalassa); then, "dividing the sea," as of a reef or rocky projection running out into the "sea," Acts 27:41 .
