I think the word "wrong" is far too general. The idea of walking worthily of the Lord is in both the NT and OT. Denying the works of the flesh is also in the NT. The term "zealous for the law" can also have a psalm 119 connotation. So there is no doubt, having read Acts and Galatians, that James was in error, but being happy that there are thousands zealous for the law is merely the tip of the iceberg.
