That's just referring to our bodies. Does 1 Corinthians 15:55-58 help clarify.
At the cross, in one sense, Jesus destroyed the works of the devil. Spiritually this is spoken of in Romans 8:29-30 as already accomplished. But we know from experience it is still being worked out even though it is a certainty. The same is true here in my opinion. I Corinthians 15:55-58 reveals that death has lost its sting and the grave its victory. Why? Jesus acquired judicially all power and authority. And He could at any time place everything under His feet. But God promised to fill the earth with His glory. And until that becomes a reality, Jesus will build His church and God will continue to remake them into the image of His Son. But nothing will or can stop it. And Christ will come and physical death will be no more.

If you go back one verse Paul says "and then will come to pass the word..."(future tense) your saying things past tense like,, has lost it's sting,,,Paul's saying it future tense https://biblehub.com/interlinear/1_corinthians/15-54.htm
