# But I say
# one who is evil
"an evil person" or "someone who harms you"
# strikes ... your right cheek
To strike the side of a man's face was an insult in Jesus' culture. As with the eye and the hand, the right cheek is the more important one, and striking that cheek was a terrible insult.
# strikes
hits with the back of an open hand
# turn to him the other also
"let him hit your other cheek also"
