Ezekiel 40 and 41 are part of a vision God gave to Ezekiel. It is a description of the temple and its measurements.

1 John 1 speaks about the connection between being forgiven and living the holy life. We spend most of our time talking about whether we are forgiven. We are assured of forgiveness in Jesus Christ. Knowing that we are forgiven does not give us license to continue to “walk in darkness” or live as though God is not in charge of our lives. We recognize our sinfulness and Christ’s forgiveness, and then we live out our changed lives. We are live in the reality of being transformed people and no longer participate in those things that we know are against God’s commands.
