Jesus said, "Turn the other cheek".Aramaic Bible in Plain English (©2010)
"But I am saying to you, you shall not rise up
against an evil person, but whoever strikes you
on your right cheek, turn to him also the other."The evil person, is not necessarily "evil",
but is your old self, the being you have to grow
out of. When a true friend points out the truth
about you and how you behave, your "sleep",
you have a choice.Rather than responding with "evil" and arguing
back, and pointing out why you are "right",
best to accept with humility, that he may actually
be telling the truth about you, information that you
need to hear if you wish to evolve as a person.
