The three that will burn represent works that are done that do not give glory to God. We can see that three of them will be burned to ashes on the Day of Judgement, while the other three will not be burned. It lists here six different kinds of works that we may offer to God. 3:12 mentions about "gold, silver, precious stones, wood hay, or stubble".
