Actually, according to this, you did imply it:

>>It is correct
and there is an agreement
ζωὴ διὰ δικαιοσύνην

However, I think your formatting was simply a bit unclear, or maybe it's 
just the cobwebs in my own brain...  :)

Agreed!

That, as they say, is a matter of interpretation, and not grammar!
