If He decides to pay someone the same wage He offered you, and they only show up at the end of the day and work an hour vs. your eight, what is that to you? Are you envious because He’s generous with his money?
None of God’s truth makes sense to the sensual mind, we need the mind renewed via his WORD, not claptrap from preachers making patchwork quilts out of it (how most of us end up in confusion).
If we aren’t building on the expert foundation of Paul—who most certainly did preach faith APART from works before enjoining us to good works!—then we’re lost in confusion. Human reasoning misses the grace of God.
If He decides to pay someone the same wage He offered you, and they only show up at the end of the day and work an hour vs. your eight, what is that to you? Are you envious because He’s generous with his money?

Hardly, perhaps I’m the one who came late, but I will work while I am there. Nobody that shows up when the work is done gets paid.
