Elizabeth,

You forgot to nail it down.  TOIOUTWN -- genitive plural so it cannot refer simply to AGAPH.

Helps to quote the whole thing.

GAL. 5:22 hO DE KARPOS TOU PNEUMATOS ESTIN AGAPH CARA EIRHNH,  
MAKROQUMIA CRHSTOTHS AGAQWSUNH, PISTIS  23 PRAUTHS EGKRATEIA: KATA  
TWN TOIOUTWN OUK ESTIN NOMOS

Do you see a pattern here?

AGAPH feminine singular nominative

  CARA EIRHNH  MAKROQUMIA CRHSTOTHS AGAQWSUNH  PISTIS PRAUTHS EGKRATEIA

all feminine singular nominative
