Mark 3:5
THS KARDIAS AUTWN

Lk 1.51, 8.12, 9.47; Eph 4.18, 6.5
KARDIAS AUTWN

Lk 2.22
hAI hHMERAI TOU KAQARISMOU AUTWN

Lk 12.7 (cf., 21.8)
hAI TRICES THS KEFALHS hUMWN

Eph 4.29
EK TOU STOMATOS hUMWN

Phil 4.23
META TOU PNEUMATOS hUMWN

This is quite a common construction and often makes perfect sense in English (e.g., "the mind of them" in Eph 4.23).  It would seem that some Greek terms can be used collectively in ways the corresponding English term cannot.  The grammar is fine.  I would see this as a translation issue.
