‏ John 5:25

 And now is ( κα νυν εστιν ). See 4:23 for this phrase. Not the future resurrection in verse 28, but the spiritual resurrection here and now.

 The dead ( ο νεκρο ). The spiritually dead, dead in trespasses and sins (Eph 2:1, 5; 5:14).

 Shall hear the voice of the Son of God ( ακουσουσιν της φωνης του υιου του θεου ). Note three genitives ( φωνης after  ακουσουσιν,  υιου with  φωνης,  θεου with  υιου ). Note three articles (correlation of the article) and that Jesus here calls himself "the Son of God" as in 10:36; 11:4.

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