Sincerely apologizing requires acknowledging one has acted wrongfully and intending not to repeat the act. Accepting an apology sincerely requires acknowledging a wrongful act and vowing not to hold a grudge against the wrongdoer.
A sincerely offered and a sincerely accepted apology both require acknowledging a wrongful act.
