Just delve a little bit deeper Ziroc and you'll find the answer: The New Testament supercedes and takes precedence over the Old Testament, so if a subject is covered in both then the New Testament is the "valid" one today. The Old Testament governed lives before Jesus and the New is meant for governing them since then till today etc.
In this case "turn the other cheek" is the valid one and people who quote the 2nd quote are simply wrong to use it.
