Matthew 5:39

But I say to you, do not resist an evil person (who insults you or violates your rights); but whoever slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other toward him also (simply ignore insignificant insults or trivial losses do not bother to retaliate-maintain your dignity, your self-respect, your poise).

We live in a world of unsaved, unmannerly people. We must practice not letting the flesh be triggered by insults, rejection, lies, and bad language. Jesus was insulted, beaten, and hung on a cross, but He didn’t repeat in kind what was said to Him. We are to be an example of what is good, even when it is rejected by those who do evil.
