The Savior often denounced those who did without being--calling them hypocrites: "This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me." To do without to be is hypocrisy, or feigning to be what one is not--a pretender. Conversely, to be without to do is void--as in "Faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." Be without do really isn't being--it is self-deception, believing oneself to be good merely because one's intentions are good. Do without be, hypocrisy, portrays a false image to others, while be without do portrays a false image to oneself. The Savior chastised the scribes and Pharisees for their hypocrisy: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe"--something they did--"of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith." Or in other words, they failed to be what they should have been. While He recognized the importance of do, the Savior identified be as a weightier matter. The greater importance of being is illustrated in these following examples: Entering the waters of baptism is something we do. The be that must precede it is faith in Jesus Christ and a mighty change of heart. Partaking of the sacrament is something we do. Being worthy to partake of the sacrament is a weightier and much more important matter.
