Tell her as a Christian, we are not to judge one another, that is the job of Christ and God. With the measure you use to judge that is also the measure that God will use to judge you. It sounds as though she is a little jealous of you, try very hard to ignore her, and pray for her, she needs it. Kill her with kindness. God bless****

Pray to God to help you understand why someone would be jealous of you and say such things. Do not worry about that girl being a hypocrite. Christians are human and always will be, all Christians are sinners and are still required to apologize when they hurt someone and ask and give forgiveness to one another to get over mistakes and hurts. Unless you have never done anything wrong or hurt anyone, you can't really call anyone else a hypocrite without calling yourself one, too.
Throwing verses at this girl will probably not get her to change her behavior to you, it would be better to just ignore her or at least say to her – Hey can we get along, we have to play on the same team so we should both be on the same side here.

First question is are you a spoiled brat? If you are then she is trying to get the message to you to humble thyself in the sight of the Lord.
And if you are not then maybe she just has a few issues. Pray for her and forgive her and do a mirror test on yourself, do you have some worldly traits that are offending her, or is she just jealous and envious?
here are some really power full scriptures and message of the Holy ghost power; joh 3 and acts2

Was your coach recomending the first half of that verse or the last? You are not her judge, and don't know what she is facing in life. The answer of Christ is to love your enemies, do good to them, and pray for them, and above all as Prov 12:16 says "A prudent man (person) conceals...." Keep your mouth shut! James says, "Be quick to hear, be slow to speak, and slow to anger." You could say something now that you could regret the rest of your life.

Proverbs 5:22 the Fruits of the Spirit. The Fruits must be present in a persons life to be a Christian.
Sadly, it is my experience that most people do not respond well to having scripture thrown at them. It might be better to ask her why she says these things to you? Try to talk to her and let her see that you are not what she says.

Don't give her a verse. She is intimidated by you that is why is do you the way she do. She wish she was you. When ever she call you that. Just tell her I love you. and every time she do that smile and say I love you. Give her a hug and a kiss and say I love you every time she say that or do any thing to you and say God bless you too when you do. after a weal she will come to like you or live you a lone because she will see that she can no longer hurt you.

In my opinion I dont think that reciting verses from the bible are going to help this girls ignorance. She seems like she is just picking on you.
It is a known fact that if you are Christian of any denomination that you dont pick on people or judge them in any way shape or form. You have the right to stick up for your self in a Christlike manner.
But in my experiance I would just ignore her and set the example. If you slang scriptures it wont help. Unless you sit her down alone and do it or talk to her on a personable basis. I bet she calls you names in front of other people right?

Don't say a word - just pray to her, and lead by example!
Forgive her, and if you have difficulty doing this, ask the Lord to help you! Then bless her somehow, go out of your way to show her love and kindness.
You will be amazed at what happens!

May I give this verse to you for your use (not hers)?
(Romans 12:19-21) Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
The next time she calls you a spoiled brat, bless her out loud - and sincerely. When she is mean to you, bless her. Show her nothing but kindness and the words she spoke to you will be a bitterness in her mouth soon.

" You are in my prayers " or James 2:8 Proverbs 15 :1 "A soft answer turns away wrath: but grevous words stir up anger ".
