Cheek:
Smiting on the cheek was accounted a grievous injury and insult (Job 16:10; Lam 3:30; Mic 5:1). The admonition (Luk 6:29), "Unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other," means simply, "Resist not evil" (Mat 5:39; 1Pe 2:19-23). Psa 3:7 = that God had deprived his enemies of the power of doing him injury.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
