And from them (the effects of sins): Sins enter a person under the curse of the Prophet ﷺ

For example:

-> He cursed those who do tattooing and those who get it done, those who make wigs (or hair extensions) and those who get it done, those who pluck eyebrows and those who get it done, those who make artificial spacing in the teeth, and those who get it done.

You can work on what Allah gave you, but do not change the creation of Allah. 

Both are included in the curse, because if you do not have people doing these actions for people, people would not do it. 

-> And he cursed those who consume Riba, those who write it, those who witnesses it.

It is not just the sinner himself who is cursed, but everyone who deals and encourages it.

-> And he cursed those who marry for the sake of making the wife lawful to her former husband.

-> And he cursed the thief 

A Curse = It takes you out of the fold of the Mercy of Allah.

#21: 

And from them: Deprivation of the supplication of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the supplication of the Angels. For Allah commanded the Prophet ﷺ to seek forgiveness for the believing men and women. Allah said in Surah Ghafir [40:7-9]:

"Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those around it exalt [Allah] with praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who have believed, [saying], "Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire."

"Our Lord, and admit them to gardens of perpetual residence which You have promised them and whoever was righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their offspring. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

"And protect them from the evil consequences [of their deeds]. And he whom You protect from evil consequences that Day - You will have given him mercy. And that is the great attainment."

"فاغفر للذين تابوا واتبعوا سبيلك" - "So forgive those who have repented and followed Your way"

The supplication of the Angels will hit you when you make repentance. If you are a sinner and not changing yourself with repentance, you will be deprived from this supplication. Sins will never avail you nor enrich you - because it is Haraam. The Shaytan cheats us; makes us think that doing the Haraam will make us rich, but we get needier. 

So this is the invocation of the Angels for the believers who repent and follow the Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, which there is no way other than it. So those other than them should not hope for the response of this supplication if they do not characterize themselves with the characteristics mentioned in it. And Allah is the source of all help.
