Can be used as a metaphor, as belonging to, being connected with or having the quality of that which follows. Verse 30 suffer both to grow together till the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the darnel [ that belonging to or sown by the enemy ], and bind it in bundles, to burn it, and the wheat [ that belonging to or sown by God ] gather up into my storehouse.'
1 Corinthians 3:13-15 YLT(i) 13 of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare it, because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove; 14 if of any one the work doth remain that he built on it, a wage he shall receive [ treasures in heaven ]; 15 if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss [ of all that belonging to or sown by the enemy ]; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.

"We must not only put bodily passions to death but also destroy the soul's impassioned thoughts. Hence the Psalmist says, 'Early in the morning I destroyed all the wicked of the earth, that I might cut off all evil-doers from the city of the Lord' (Ps. 101:8) - that is, the passions of the body and the soul's godless thoughts."
