Ko e mavahe ia mei he ʻOtuá mo hono ngaahi mālohí; ko e mate ia ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku kau ki he māʻoniʻoní. Naʻe moʻua ʻa Lusifā mo hano vahe tolu ʻe taha ʻo e ngaahi laumālie ʻo e langí ki he mate fakalaumālié ʻi hono kapusi hifo ʻa kinautolu mei he langí (T&F 29:36–37).
Naʻe fakahoko mai ʻa e mate fakalaumālié ki he māmaní ʻi he hinga ʻa ʻĀtamá (Mōsese 6:48). ʻOku mate fakalaumālie ʻa e kakai fakamatelie ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakakaukau, ngaahi lea mo e ngaahi ngāue ʻoku kovi, lolotonga ʻenau kei moʻui ʻi he māmaní (1 Tīm. 5:6). Naʻe tuʻunga ʻi he fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí pea mo e talangofua ki he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni mo e ngaahi ouau ʻo e ongoongoleleí, ha toe lava ai ʻa e tangatá mo e fefiné ʻo maʻa mei he angahalá pea nau ikunaʻi ʻa e mate fakalaumālié.
ʻOku toe hoko foki ʻa e mate fakalaumālié ʻi he hili ʻa e mate ʻa e sino fakamatelié. ʻE fakamāuʻi fakatouʻosi ʻa e kakai kuo toe tuʻú mo e tēvoló mo ʻene kau ʻāngeló. Ko kinautolu naʻa nau angatuʻu fakahāhā ki he maama mo e moʻoni ʻo e ongoongoleleí te nau mate fakalaumālie. ʻOku faʻa ui ʻa e mate ko ʻení ko e mate ʻanga uá (ʻAlamā 12:16; Hilam. 14:16–19; T&F 76:36–38).
