Apologizing

Sign on a new deco eaterie wall:

"Proper Apologies have 3 parts:
1. What I did was wrong
2. I feel badly I hurt you.
3. How can I make this better?"

Good human wisdom.

And I grab several concordances to find a biblical reference to this and found only one, in the Message concordance....where the people who threw Paul in jail, did so not knowing he was a Roman citizen, and thus came to him hurredly in the morning and "apologized" - see it all in Acts 16.

A question: why does the Bible not include this in its vocabulary of recommended human activity?

Hmmm....
