The older commentaries by BF Westcott (GJohn; EJohn; Hebrews); JB Lightfoot (Galatians; Philippians; 1&2 Thessalonians; Colossians and Philemon; and part-commentaries on 1 Corinthians 1-7, Romans 1-7, and Ephesians 1:1-14); and HB Swete (Mark; Revelation) are well worth consulting, even buying, if you can find them or reprints. For Ephesians I find the older commentary by J Armitage Robinson most useful on the Greek text. Most (not quite all) of the above print out the Greek text in full at the top of each page of the commentary. CEB Cranfield has published a commentary on the Greek of Mark (in the Cambridge Greek Testament Commentary series, 1959). This prints out Greek phrases attracting special comment, not the full text. Don't forget the "commentators' commentator", JA Bengel. His /Gnomon novi testamenti/ has much distilled wisdom, but it is unevenly spread out through the five volumes of the T&T Clark, Edinburgh, English translation by Andrew Fausset (1859).
