Without a shadow of a doubt

"You'll be able to do it with a clear conscience, knowing without a shadow of a doubt that you won't be caught."

Should there be commas around "without a shadow of a doubt" or does it not matter? Given it is in dialogue, should it depend on the pace of the character speaking?

Thanks.
