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).
