On the Gospel of John I think that C. K. Barrett's commentary deals well
with the syntax of the Greek text.
On Thessalonians there is an excellent commentary in French by Beda
Rigaux, Saint Paul. Les epitres aux Thessaloniciens (Etudes bibliques;
Paris: J. Gabalda; Gembloux: J. Ducolot, 1956), which really does deal
with the Greek text in detail. In English there is the lengthy older
commentary by G. Lünemann, Critical and Exegetical Handbook to the
Epistles of St. Paul to the Thessalonians (this was an English
translation of the first edition of the Meyer-Kommentar) published by T.
& T. Clark in 1880.
Probably most commentators who are dealing with the Greek text assume
that their readers know Greek and have access to reference grammars like
Moulton-Turner or Blass-Debrunner-Funk. I am quite enthusiastic about
the new grammar by Daniel Wallace, Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics. For
tough grammatical questions I would turn first either to Wallace or to
Smyth, Greek Grammar.
