John 5:25

And now is (kai nun estin). See John 4:23 for this phrase. Not the future resurrection in verse John 5:28, but the spiritual resurrection here and now.

The dead (oi nekroi). The spiritually dead, dead in trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1, Ephesians 2:5; Ephesians 5:14).

Shall hear the voice of the Son of God (akousousin thv fwnhv tou uiou tou qeou). Note three genitives (fwnhv after akousousin, uiou with fwnhv, qeou with uiou). Note three articles (correlation of the article) and that Jesus here calls himself "the Son of God" as in John 10:36; John 11:4.

Shall live (zhsousin). Future active indicative, shall come to life spiritually.
