2 Peter 1:1

Grammatically, as usual, many options are open to us; but is the most 
likely suggestion that Peter is expanding on "ISOTIMON"?

I was taught that EN DIKAIOSUNE was adverbial with ISOTIMON ...LAXOUSIN 
PISTIN with the sense as following:
"  God is just/righteous to give you a faith as <<equally precious>> as I, 
Peter the apostle..." {if He was less righteous you might not have had the 
opportunity to receive such a precious faith}

This could be putting too much weight on one word, but it seems to me that 
the ISO part of ISOTIMON would be redundant/inexplicable otherwise.

What think ye all of this from an exegetical point of view?
