As I interpret it, Paul is speaking of the close of the present age at Christ's return, when the deceased bodies of believers (who were indwelt by the Holy Spirit through their faith during their earthly lives) will be brought back to life, not to die again, but to live forever in immortal bodies, as Jesus was resurrected to eternal life.
