Some witnesses have εθνικοι το αυτο (including ℵ B D Z f1 33 205 892 1424 al lat sy-c.h co; Bas), but the same internal criterion that would have us accept εθνικοι due to its variance from τελωναι in 5:46 would also have us reject το αυτο due to its apparent assimilation to the same in 5:46. And although some editors (e.g. Griesbach, Fritzsche, Kühnöl, von Soden) have followed this internal criterion strictly and printed εθνικοι ουτως, there are reasons why τελωναι ουτως should not be rejected automatically:
(1) The recurrence of τελωναι (5:46, 47) appeared tautological and invited alteration. Just as Bloomfield (GNT, 1:40) argues that ουτως should be rejected on account of its "great probability" of being a correction "to remove a tautology," it is fair to question why the possible recurrence of the relatively insignificant το αυτο would have prompted correction for this reason rather than the much more noticeable double-occurrence of τελωναι, assuming it to be original.
(2) The nearby use of the relatively rare term εθνικοι (Matt 6:7) in the memorable passage on prayer could have prompted expositors or editors to assimilate one of the occurrences of τελωναι to the expression there, especially since tautology is generally considered a fault of style and thus something to be alleviated rather than created.
(3) Had τελωναι come about by accident, the non-conformity of ουτως is difficult to explain.
(4) The famous ecclesiological passage in Matt 18:17, where both εθνικος and τελωνης are linked together, could have influenced someone toward assimilation. By way of example, Justin (1 Apologia 15.9–10) has οι πορνοι . . . οι τελωναι when citing this pericope, perhaps due to the connection of those terms in Matt 21:31–32. Cf. also the use of τα εθνη in Didache 1.3 in reference to the present pericope, perhaps influenced by the similar comparative technique in Matt 6:32, where τα εθνη occurs.
(5) Although Bloomfield judges that the antithesis favors εθνικοι, he also concedes that the term could have arisen "from a wish to strengthen the antithesis."
(6) Any of the above alterations could have been assisted by the accidental omission of the text in question by two different occurrences of homoeoteleuton error: (a) the skipping from ποι- of ποιειτε to ποι- of ποιουσιν (resulting in the omission of ουχι και οι [τελωναι ουτως]), as actually occurs in one witness (1330); (b) the skipping of the entire verse from ποιουσιν of 5:46 to ποιουσιν of 5:47, as occurs in 18 witnesses (see below).
