Original Sanskrit
1 यतो वाचो निवर्तन्ते अप्राप्य मनसा सह । आनन्दं ब्रह्मणो विद्वान् । न बिभेत कुतश्चनेति । एतँ ह वाव न तपति । किमहँ साधु नाकरवम् ।किमहं पापमकरवमिति । स य एवं विद्वानेते आत्मानँ स्पृणुते । उभे ह्येवैष एते आत्मानँ स्पृणुते । य एवं वेद । इत्युपनिषत् ॥

1 Words turn back from it, together with the mind, unable to attain it. Whoever knows the bliss of Brahman fears nothing whatever. These thoughts do not torment him: "Why did I not do what was good?Why did I do what was evil?" Whoever knows in this way frees himself from these two. From both of these he indeed frees himself—whoever knows in this way. Such is the secret teaching.

1 Words turn back from it, along with the mind, unable to reach it. Whoever knows the bliss of Brahman is not afraid of anything.

Yes, knowing this frees that person from both of them. This is the Upanishad.
