Baltimore Ravens retiring linebacker Ray Lewis (C) holds up the Vince Lombardi trophy as he stands with safety Ed Reed (L) during a rally at City Hall in Baltimore, Maryland February 5, 2013. The Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers to win the NFL championship. 

Ray Lewis, the Christian Baltimore Ravens linebacker who recently ended his career with a Super Bowl ring, has spoken out about agape love and quoted scripture at the Super Bowl celebration parade that took place in Maryland on Tuesday. 

During his speech, the 13-time Pro Bowler quoted Isaiah 54:17 which states, "No weapon formed against you shall prosper." 

"Baltimore! There is nothing in the world, there is no place on this earth, that is better than Baltimore. This city, this city, we believed in each other from Day One, from 1996 to now," Lewis told fans in the city where he spent his entire 17 year NFL career. "We believed in each other, Baltimore. If I had to describe our team in one phrase or one paragraph, you all know what it is: 'No weapon, no weapon, no weapon formed against us shall prosper.'" 

Although Lewis recently announced that he would retire from the NFL, he spoke to the crowd of Baltimore fans about agape love, a term used by Christians to describe the love of Jesus Christ.
