Paul's wanted to simplify his and Timothy's evangelism among the Jews easier. The Jews would consider Timothy a Gentile because he was uncircumcised. That meant they would not associate with him (Acts 10:28). Since these Jews were not yet Christians, and since Timothy understood that his salvation was through Christ and not through circumcision or obeying the law, Paul didn't have the same reasons to be concerned about it that he did with the Galatians. Circumcision ultimately meant nothing, so there was no harm in Timothy's doing it for the purposes of removing obstacles to evangelism (cf. 1 Cor 9:20-21)
