The substantival use of AGAQOS for persons is indisputable. You seem to
reject Carl's example of Mt 19.17 even though it is modified by the article
and therefore must be taken as substantival. And Rom 5.7 and 1 Pet 2.18 are
not only possible, but certain. In addition to those Carl offered, there is
also the certain example of Mt 5.45 (AGAQOUS, "good people).
