Consider a Brownian particle in three dimensions in a random environment. The environment is determined by a potential random in space and time. It is shown that at small noise the large-time behavior of the particle is diffusive. The diffusion constant depends on the environment. This work generalizes previous results for random walk in a random environment. In these results the diffusion constant does not depend on the environment.
