Just double checking myself, I was talking to a friend about OU DUNATAI POLIS KRUBHNAI EPANW OPOUS KEIMENH of Matt 5:14.

He wanted to argue that KEIMAI here is passive, I told him that KEIMAI here is deponent because it is intransitive therefore it could not be a passive.  But rather pointed to location, "a city located on a hill..."

The only reason we were discussing this is because he wants to make the passive mean something in his sermon to the effect of God planting us etc.  Anyway, way I correct?  Is KEIMAI here deponent?
